Therefore, we believe recent price dips could be an opportune time to bet on fundamentally sound fertilizer stocks CVR Partners (NYSE:UAN) and Intrepid (IPI). Read on.Surging energy costs, scarcity of supply, imperfectly competitive and shallow market structure and trade policies have driven fertilizer prices near-record highs this year.

The recent price dips in these stocks offer a perfect entry point to lock in potential gains in the coming months.
